Trustees’ annual report statement
suffering from major CHD each year, the trustees are satisfied the charity meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit test.
Introduction
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended April 2025. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. Reference and administrative information set out on page six forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Charitable activities and achievements
This report covers the 2024-25 financial year, which began in May 2024. This was another successful and busy year for the charity - again extending the charitable services we offer and benefiting more babies with CHD, their families, and the health professionals who care for them than any previous year.
Training services
We continued to provide both fully-funded and paid-for inperson training services to NHS hospitals in the UK. We have a team of specialist sonographer trainers who visit hospitals to training sonography staff.
Charity objectives and activities
The charity’s objects, as set out in our Memorandum of Association, are to improve the understanding, early detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease in babies and children; to fund specialist medical equipment; and to provide family support services.
Training consists of a detailed presentation on the views required during a fetal anomaly scan, followed by hands-on practical training with volunteer patients.
The aim of this training is to increase the skills and confidence of sonographers to capture cardiac views; to gain familiarity with the normally developing heart; and to recognise when to refer a patient for further investigations following the detection of a potential heart problem.
Tiny Tickers exists to improve the early detection and care of babies with congenital heart disease (CHD), giving them a better start in life. Heart problems are the most common congenital birth defect – affecting around one in every 100 babies. They are also the most deadly, responsible for more than one in 13 of all infant deaths in the UK.
Our National Sonographer Training Fund - generously supported by the Novum Foundation and the Eureka Charitable Trust - enabled us to continue offering fully-funded training days during the period of this report.
Every year, nearly 10,000 CHD surgeries and procedures are carried out in UK hospitals. Early detection means babies get the treatment they need from the first opportunity. This can save lives, improve post-surgery survival rates and lead to a better long-term quality of life.
Additionally, we continued to develop the Tiny Tickers Learning Hub, launching a short course on our Think HEART campaign - aimed at teaching heart professionals such as midwives, health visitors and GP the signs of a potentially undiagnosed cardiac problem.
We help babies with CHD by educating and supporting the health professionals who look after them; providing support, information and advice to newly diagnosed families; being a voice for patient families as we work with the NHS to improve services; and funding equipment that aids detection of CHD.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activitty and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and when planning future activities. Since the charity’s work aims to advance the life chances of approximately 3,000 babies born

Equipment and technology
We continued to fund and place pulse oximetry testing machines in NHS Trusts during the period of this report. We have now placed 600 machines across the UK, meaning thousands of newborn babies are being tested every year.
Influencing services and providing a voice
We are proud to have collaborated on and helped author the BAPM Framework for Practice: Routine Pulse Oximetry Testing for Newborn Babies, which was published in October 2024. We continue to represent the interests of families as we work with service providers and the UK’s regional cardiac networks.
Family support work
This reporting period saw us continue to invest in and grow our family support services, thanks in part to funding from Global Make Some Noise. We continued to deliver online peer support groups for parents-to-be and families of babies with CHD; and expanded these to include a group for bereaved parents, and a group for grandparents.
We began a pilot project offering one-to-one bereavement support for families who have lost a baby to CHD - offered in collaboration with specialist charity Love Jasmine.
It is a privilege to continuing working to help those impacted by CHD, and we know how vital these projects are to supporting families and protecting families; reducing isolation and stress; and building lasting support networks.
We are incredibly grateful to the donors, funders and fundraisers whose generosity means we can continue making a real and lasting impact on the lives of so many babies and their families.
Financial review 2024-25
Charities across the sector continue to face major financial pressures – with the income generation climate very difficult and costs of providing services rising significantly.
Given that landscape, we were happy to record income of £367,268. This was less than £8,000 lower than the prior year. Given the challenges in the sector, we were pleased with this performance. This income, combined with a strong reserves position established in prior years, enabled us to continue developing and expanding our charitable activities, launching new projects to help support families and health professionals.
As budgeted, our expenditure increased year-on-year, from £378,383 in 2023-24, to £404,562 in 2024-25. This was due to a combination of factors, including: the continued spending of a donation of £100,000 awarded towards the end of the 202223 financial year; increased and new charitable activities; the full-year costs of staff increases introduced in prior years; and the trustees’ decision to spend down a proportion of our reserves to ensure we continue to operate within our reserves policy. Therefore, we recorded a deficit of £37,294. As of 30 April 2025, our total funds stood at £232,283 – of which £42,300 was restricted to specific areas of work.
The Trustees’ ambition remains to progress the charity in a sustainable way – ensuring the charity has sufficient resources and robust processes to deliver current and new charitable activities within the next financial year. The Trustees are confident the charity continues to have a stable financial platform from which we are delivering a significant impact for our beneficiaries.
The Trustees have developed a three-year financial projection that
targets continued income growth, and a return to a small annual surplus. To achieve these levels of income generation despite the current financial climate impact the sector, the Trustees recognise that the charity needs to continue diversifying its income streams.
Therefore, the year reported in these accounts saw the introduction of a new online shop selling training materials to health professionals, and charity merchandise to supporters.
Additionally, the 2025-26 financial year will see the wider launch of the new Tiny Tickers Learning Hub, an online training platform for health professionals which we believe will help deliver our charitable mission to aid early detection of CHD, and provide a new and sustainable income stream.
Reserves policy
In order to ensure the sustainable operation of the charity, it is the trustees’ policy to hold unrestricted reserves of six to nine months’ worth of usual operating expenditure, being approximately £171,000 to £256,500. As at 30 April 2025, unrestricted reserves are £189,983, within our threshold.
The trustees review this policy annually. The trustees recognise that the financial position of the charity sector is challenging and will consider whether a reduction in the level of the unrestricted reserves set out in the policy is prudent and appropriate when the policy is reviewed during the next financial year.
Structure, governance and management
Tiny Tickers is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on April 23rd, 1999, and registered as a charity on November 8th, 1999. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. The Articles of Association require that there are at least three trustees.
Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting for a period of three years and may be reappointed for three such terms. In exceptional circumstances, a final term of two years may be served. The board of trustees may appoint new trustees during the year, who will hold office until the next AGM, where they may be re-appointed. Trustee recruitment is achieved by public advertisement of vacancies, and an interview process that includes the Chair of Trustees, selected other members of the board, and the Chief Executive. New trustees are given a full induction.
The trustees are responsible for our governance and the use of funds. Also, they are responsible for regulating our fundraising and setting the charity’s strategy and policies (and monitoring progress and fulfillment of these). Day-to-day management of the charity’s affairs is delegated to the Chief Executive.
Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Trustee renumeration for specific work is disclosed in note 10 of the accounts. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity by the trustees are set out in note 10 to the accounts.

has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate.

Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
d. Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

-
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation.

Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
i. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
